You lose all credibility for even mentioning Buyrite :p lol.. I agree about NCS though! Extremely respectable.. Also Japan Video Games, Cart-Mart, Game Express, Flashback Inc.

Bad experience with Buy Rite? They actually came recommended, but I haven' t brought anything from them myself. NCS has never let me down though. Also, I checked out Japan Video Games. Hot damn are they expensive!

Lotusson, Buy Rite Games is rated extremely poor. Based on the pages of " very dissatisfied" customers using wording like " black flag" and " fraud" , I myself would never even think about browsing their website not to mention actually shopping there:)

Well of the ones I' ve used these come highly recommended: CEX.co.uk VideoGameImports.com Nether have ever let me down, and in the case of VGI, prices are pretty good for Neo Geo games compared to various other stores. I' ve heard that NeoStore.com is great for Neo games, good service and very reliable, though I haven' t used then due to it being based in the US. Shipping and tax isn' t cheap.

Nice one Kyo K. I use VGI quite a bit for import stuff myself and have also found them to be a superb online seller. They always reply quickly with friendly emails and you can tell that their staff are proper gamers. They also stock some amazing rare stuff which really sets them apart. The only drawback is that they' re (sometimes) a bit expensive - check out how much they' re charging for Rogue Squadron III. [:' (]

I' ve bought from buyrite a couple times. The customer service was not that great, but I got my products OK and within a (barely) reasonable time frame. When I tried ordering a product on their website (its been a long time) it didnt specify differences between two versions of the product. Only a bigger price tag. I got a phone call from them once regarding an imported product that I had (surprisingly) purchased. (since I ordered the local version). They asked if I had some sort of translator for the import Game Boy Player, and I said " no, and i can' t afford to pay more at the moment, so if it doesn' t come with it free then cancel my order and refund my card" . They gave it to me free :D Other websites are better. A friend has had good experiences with buy.com but never tried it out myself.
